# Bookwise vs Quade

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quade at none against Bookwise's 18. Quade also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Bookwise's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (767 vs 7). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookwise sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Quade asks for nothing beyond the download.

Quade holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookwise has 767 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
